Dream Lofty Dreams

When you first moved to your home didn’t you make a few wrong turns. Eventually all those wrong turns create a map in your head. So now when someone asks you directions you can quickly find the best way to get there.

Likewise you can be become just as confident in living out your dream.

But because most people jump in at this cycle without Dreaming and Daring they are already lacking motivation and courage. In their mind perhaps they already say to themselves

“I’ll just try this out.”

They dip their toe in the water… And if their unconvincing attempt results in anything less, than overwhelming success they decide it won’t work.

“Oh well, I gave it a shot” they’ll say.

Then they will find a hundred and one reasons to explain why ‘IT’ wouldn’t and couldn’t work for them.

Wrong.

You see life is so simple, if only you fit in with it. Everything has a natural cycle to it. You wouldn’t try to bake a cake, without putting the ingredients in first, but so many people try to create a better life without knowing what the ingredients are… or even what recipe they are using.

Some people have a problem with this concept, as they believe that this is interfering with God’s plans. However if it is not through you, me and everyone else, how is God's wonder and splendor ever going to manifest on earth? We are the vessels, the pipelines, for God’s force.

If it makes it easier for you to accept think about it this way. God has created a swimming pool (the world). Just an empty hole isn't much use so he needs to fill it up with water. So he uses a hose (us) to fill the pool. We can direct the water where we want. We can fill the deep end (be wealthy) first or the shallow end (lack). He doesn't care which... he knows the water will settle down... find there own place and move about. So the force is his, but you get to choose where it is directed.

It's difficult to grasp this point. It goes against everything you have ever known. This is why people have difficulty with it. The world teaches you that you take what you have and then make the best you can from it.

Wrong. So wrong.

This is why people have no motivation to lose weight, to go to work and so on.

The event is created by the thought. You think, then do. You think, then attract.

It is your dream, your vision that determines the level of energy, enthusiasm and ability. You know how with something you are interested in; work is not a chore. Because you understand the value of what you are doing. You know how important it is for you.

When you get such a dream that you truly believe will change the world... that is when you have the ability, the energy and anything else you need to change the world.

Dream lofty dreams, and as you dream so shall you become. Your vision is the promise of what you shall one day be; your Ideal is the prophecy of what you shall at last unveil.

The greatest achievement was at first and for a time a dream.

The oak sleeps in the acorn;

the bird waits in the egg;

and in the highest vision of the soul a waking angel stirs.

Your circumstances may be uncongenial, but they shall not long remain so when you perceive an Ideal and strive to reach it.

James Allen in As A Man Thinketh
